Introductory 

THIS  little  volume  is  intended  to  briefly 
outline  and  illustrate  the  principal  and 
most  important  phases  of  Illinois  par- 
ticipation in  the  Panama-Pacific  International 
Exposition.  It  is,  indeed,  just  a  glimpse  of 
the  Illinois  State  Building  and  the  various 
other  State  exhibits,  and  of  the  efforts  that 
have  been  made  to  give  Illinois  its  rightful 
place  among  the  other  states  of  the  Union, 
and  the  nations  of  the  world,  in  this  great 
congress  of  states  and  nations.

The  Illinois  State  Building 

at  the 

Panama-Pacific  International 
Exposition 

THE  Illinois  state  building  at  the  Panama-Pacific 
International  Exposition  at  San  Francisco  is  lo- 
cated on  the  main  avenue,  which  runs  through  the 
sites  for  the  other  state  buildings  and  the  foreign  pavil- 
lions. 

It  is  rectangular  in  shape,  with  an  open  court  inside, 
and  occupies  a  ground  area  of  189  by  90  feet. 

The  first  floor  comprises  two  entrance  foyers;  a  mo- 
tion-picture theatre ;  an  information  bureau ;  the  build- 
ing's post-office ;  a  publicity  room ;  a  room  devoted  en- 
tirely to  a  memorial  of  Lincoln ;  a  large  lounging-room, 
and  two  small  rest-rooms. 

The  open  court  is  paved  with  cement  tile.  In  its 
centre  is  a  fountain,  surrounded  by  palms  and  ferns. 

The  second  floor  is  reached  by  four  flights  of  wide, 
imposing  stairways,  which  lead  into  two  loggias.  On 
one  side  is  the  "Gold"  or  "Reception"  room,  which  con- 
tains a  great  pipe-organ,  pronounced  by  organists  to  be  a 
master-instrument;  a  grand  ball-room;  a  recital  hall;  a 
women's  rest-room;  a  smoking  room  and  two  smaller 
lounging  rooms. 

[6] 


[7] 


The  third  floor  is  given  up  to  the  building's  adminis- 
trative officers;  a  suite  of  rooms  set  apart  for  the  Gover- 
nor of  Illinois  and  his  official  party;  rooms  for  the  resi- 
dent commissioners  and  hosts;  employees. 

The  first  floor  foyers  are  decorated  in  caen  stone;  the 
theatre  in  French  gray  and  gold;  the  Lincoln  Memorial 
room  in  buff  and  gold ;  the  publicity  and  information 
room  in  blue  and  gold ;  and  the  general  lounging  room  in 
green  and  gold. 

The  second  floor  loggias  are  decorated  in  Pompeian 
style;  the  reception  room  in  old  gold;  the  women's  room 
in  light  blue  and  gold ;  the  smoking-room  in  brown  and 
gold ;  the  ball-room  in  light  French  gray  and  gold  in  the 
style  of  Louis  XIV. 

The  plans  for  the  construction  of  the  building,  and 
for  its  furnishings  and  decorating,  were  drawn  by  James 
B.  Dibelka,  state  architect  for  Illinois.  The  furniture 
was  supplied  by  Mandel  Brothers,  of  Chicago;  Mitchel 
&  Halbach  Company,  another  Chicago  house,  had  charge 
of  the  decorating. 

The  organ  was  built  to  order  especially  for  the  Illinois 
building  by  the  Hinners  Organ  Company,  of  Pekin,  Illi- 
nois. It  is  in  charge  of  a  competent  organist,  and  organ 
concerts  and  recitals  are  given  regularly  on  Wednesday 
and  Sunday  afternoons  and  on  special  occasions. 

The  principal  wish  and  hope  of  Governor  Dunne  and 
the  members  of  the  Illinois  commission  to  the  Exposi- 
tion, in  the  construction,  furnishing  and  decorating  of  the 
building,  has  been  that  it  will  be  utilized  as  fully  as 

[8]

jl 

JjfcE 


[9] 


possible  by  Illinoisans  when  they  visit  the  exposition,  and 
by  former  residents  of  the  state. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  present  and  former  residents  of  the 
state  will  use  its  conveniences  and  facilities  whenever  the 
opportunity  presents  itself. 

The  building  belongs  to  the  former  and  present  resi- 
dents of  Illinois.  They  are  welcome  within  its  portals. 
In  truth,  it  will  have  failed  of  its  principal  mission  if  it 
be  not  alone  acceptable  in  physical  appearance  and  in 
equipment,  but  in  its  hospitality  and  welcome,  as  well.

The  Agricultural   Exhibit   and  Plans 
for  the  Exhibit  of  Live  Stock 

The  agricultural  exhibit  was  prepared,  organized 
and  installed  under  the  personal  supervision  of  the 
Illinois  commission's  committee  on  agriculture, 
live  stock  and  dairying,  of  which  the  Hon.  Alfred 
N.  Abbott  of  Morrison,  is  chairman.  Mr.  Ab- 
bott is  a  practical  farmer,  and  president  of  the  Illi- 
nois State  Farmers'  Institute.  The  other  mem- 
bers of  this  committee  are:  N.  Elmo  Franklin, 
W.  Duff  Piercy,  Martin  B.  Bailey,  F.  C.  Camp- 
bell, F.  Jeff  Tossey,  W.  A.  Compton,  Charles 
H.  Carmon  and  George  W.  Crawford.. 

IV  preparing  the  agricultural  exhibit,  it  was  wisely  de- 
cided to  feature  corn,  not  only  because  corn  is  King 
in    Illinois,   but   because    the    great    distance    to    San 
Francisco  made  an  exhibit  of  fruit  and  vegetables,  prod- 
ucts which  would  necessitate  frequent  replacing,  imprac- 
ticable on  account  of  the  distance  to  be  transported,  and 
the  expense  of  shipment. 

The  Illinois  agricultural  exhibit  is  placed  in  the  center 
of  the  Palace  of  Agriculture,  with  the  great  corn  states 
of  Iowa,  Missouri  and  Kansas  as  immediate  neighbors. 
The  ornamentation  of  the  Illinois  booth  is  made  with 
corn  and  native  grasses  and  grains. 

Corn  decoration  is  a  new  feature  on  the  coast,  and  at- 


[14] 


[15] 


tracts  much  attention  and  favorable  comment  from  the 
local  people. 

The  center  of  attraction  of  the  Illinois  exhibit  is  a  pyra- 
mid of  show  corn,  contributed  by  the  Illinois  Corn 
Growers  Association.  At  the  summit  of  the  pyramid 
stands  the  figure  of  an  Indian  girl  made  oft  corn,  corn 
husks  and  corn  silk.  The  show  corn  in  this  exhibit  is 
said  by  corn  judges  to  be  the  best  collection  ever  assem- 
bled in  Illinois. 

On  two  tables,  each  twenty  feet  long,  by  the  side  of  the 
corn  pyramids,  are  displayed  40  jars  containing  manufac- 
tured commercial  products  of  corn.  The  starches,  sugars, 
oil,  syrups,  candy  and  various  distillate  products  from 
corn  are  sources  of  wonder  to  people  who  think  that  corn 
meal,  hominy  and  ensilage  are  the  sole  products  of  corn. 
Particularly  are  they  surprised  to  see  a  substitute  for  rub- 
ber made  from  the  germs  of  corn. 

In  connection  with  the  state  agricultural  exhibit,  the 
College  of  Agriculture  of  the  State  University  has  pre- 
pared an  educational  display  which  by  competent  critics 
is  pronounced  the  most  scientific  exhibit  at  the  exposition. 

Numerous  photographs  are  shown  portraying  the  vari- 
ous market-  classes  and  grades  of  domestic  animals  and 
results  of  feeding  experiments. 

On  tables,  each  six  feet  square  are  plotted  five  of  the 
state  experiment,  fields  showing  the  beneficial  results  from 
applying  ground  limestone  on  acid  soil — potassium  on 
peaty  soil  and  phosphorus  on  upland  soils,  well  supplied 
with  organic  matter. 

[16J 


[17] 


The  composition  of  corn  is  shown  in  a  series  of  five 
jars  containing  the  starch,  oil,  protein,  fiber  and  water 
contained  in  a  bushel  of  corn. 

A  series  of  jars  showing  the  result  of  eight  years  of 
corn  breeding  for  high  oil  and  low  protein  content  has 
been  pronounced  as  being  the  most  scientific  experiment 
ever  conducted  in  the  breeding  of  corn. 

A  series  of  photographs  showing  the  conservation  of 
sandy  land  by  tree  planting  is  of  interest  to  people  own- 
ing drifting  sandy  land. 

The  systematic  state  soil  survey  in  which  Illinois  leads 
the  world,  as  shown  by  bulletins,  maps  and  surveying 
outfit,  is  a  source  of  careful  study  for  those  interested  in 
questions  of  soil  fertility. 

Plans  for  Exhibit  of  Live  Stock 

The  live-stock  raisers  of  Illinois  are  offered  substan- 
tial encouragement  at  home  to  exhibit  their  prize  cattle, 
horses,  sheep  and  swine  at  the  Panama-Pacific  Interna- 
tional Exposition. 

The  Illinois  Commission  to  the  exposition  will  award 
prizes  aggregating  $17,480  to  the  stock-raisers  of  Illi- 
nois who  participate  in  the  great  international  live-stock 
show  to  be  held  at  the  Exposition. 

These  prizes  will  be  in  addition  to  the  prizes  to  be 
awarded  by  the  exposition,  who  have  set  aside  a  fund  of 
$175,000  to  make  certain  that  their  live-stock  show  will 
be  the  greatest  of  its  kind  ever  held  in  this  country. 

[18J 


[19] 


Nearly  all  of  this  $175,000  will  be  used  by  the  ex- 
position in  awarding  cash  prizes,  premiums,  cups  and 
ribbons  to  the  raisers  of  the  finest  stock  shown  at  this 
show,  and  practically  all  of  the  $17,480  appropriated  by 
the  Illinois  Commission  will  be  used  in  paying  cash  prizes. 

The  Illinois  Commission  also  contemplates  the  giving 
of  handsomely  engraved  medals  to  the  premier  exhibitors 
from  Illinois  in  the  various  classes  of  breeding  animals 
and  ribbons  to  all  animals  that  get  within  the  Illinois 
classification. 

The  schedule  of  prizes  to  be  awarded  by  the  Illinois 
Commission  was  made  up  by  a  joint  committee,  composed 
of  Alfred  N.  Abbott,  of  Morrison,  president  of  the  Illi- 
nois State  Farmers  Institute,  and  chairman  of  the  Illi- 
nois Commission's  committee  on  agriculture,  live-stock 
and  dairying;  the  late  Edward  Tilden,  Chicago  packer 
and  banker,  and  representatives  of  the  Illinois  Live-Stock 
Breeders'  Association. 

Prof.  H.  P.  Rusk,  of  the  College  of  Agriculture  of 
the  State  University,  did  the  actual  work  of  making  up 
the  classification. 

The  cash  prizes  to  be  awarded  by  the  Illinois  Com- 
mission have  been  divided  into  five  classes,  including  beef 
and  dairy  cattle;  horses,  sheep  and  swine. 

Of  the  total  amount  appropriated,  $4,430  will  be  given 
in  prizes  to  the  beef-cattle;  dairy  cattle  will  receive 
$2,485;  horses  will  get  $4,230;  swine,  $3,635  and  sheep, 
$2,700. 

In  each  section  of  the  various  classes,  individual  prizes 

[20J 


will  be  given,  ranging  from  $5.00  to  $10.00,  based  upon 
the  Illinois  classification. 

Also,  a  grand  prize,  amounting  to  $25.00,  will  be 
awarded  to  the  exhibitor  winning  the  greatest  number  of 
points  in  each  of  these  classes. 

The  Illinois  Commision  also  has  provided  for  the 
poultry  raisers  of  the  State,  and  has  appropriated  funds 
to  encourage  the  State's  poultry-raisers  to  exhibit  their 
finest  fowls  at  the  Exposition. 


[21J 


The  Educational  Exhibit 

Located  in  the  Palace  of  Education  and  Social  Economy. 

The  educational  exhibit  was  prepared  by  Profes- 
sor James  M.  White,  Supervising  Architect  of 
the  University  of  Illinois,  under  the  supervision 
of  the  Illinois  Commission's  committee  on  educa- 
tion and  educational  institutions,  composed  of 
former  Speaker  William  McKinley,  chairman  ; 
John  C.  Eastman,  Andrew  M.  Lawrence,  W. 
Duff  Piercy  and  Alfred  N.  Abbott. 

THE  committee  on  education  and  educational  insti- 
tutions, in  conference  with   Francis  G.   Blair,   Su- 
perintendent of  Public  Instruction,  and  Dr.  R.  E. 
Hieronymous  of   the   University  of  Illinois,   mapped   out 
plans    for   a    comprehensive   exhibit,    and    Superintendent 
Blair  was  appointed  Director,  which  position  he  held  un- 
til January  30th,  1915,  at  which  time  he  resigned  because 
the  curtailing  of  the  space  by  the  exposition  authorities 
made  it  impossible  to  carry  out  his  orginal  conception  of 
what  the  exhibit  should  be. 

Professor  James  M.  White  of  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois, succeeded  him  as  director  and  carried  out  as  far  as 
was  possible,  the  original  plans. 

The  most  prominent  feature  of  the  exhibit  is  the  group 
of  models  of  the  buildings  and  grounds  of  State  Educa- 

[22] 


[23] 


tional  Institutions  selected  to  represent  the  universities, 
colleges,  normal  schools,  township  high  schools,  consoli- 
dated schools,  and  rural  schools.  The  University  of  Illi- 
nois model,  seven  by  sixteen  feet  in  size,  represents  only 
fifty-five  acres  of  the  main  portion  of  the  campus,  in- 
cluding twenty-seven  buildings.  The  New  Armory  is 
shown,  as  it  will  be  when  completed,  on  a  separate  ped- 
estal three  by  five  feet  in  size.  The  dimensions  of  the  other 
models  are  as  follows:  Knox  College  five  and  one-half 
by  eleven  feet;  the  State  Normal  University  at  Normal, 
Illinois,  including  the  main  campus  and  a  small  portion 
of  the  farm,  five  and  one-half  by  fifteen  feet;  the  La 
Salle-Peru  Township  High  School,  six  feet  square,  which 
does  not  include  their  athletic  field;  the  Rollo  Consoli- 
dated School  District  group,  seven  by  eight  feet;  the 
Crossroads  School  building  and  grounds,  in  Ma- 
con  County,  three  by  five  feet;  and  a  sectional  model  of 
a  model  one-room  country  school,  designed  under  the 
direction  of  State  Superintendent  Blair  on  a  large  enough 
scale  to  show  details  of  exterior  and  interior  construc- 
tion and  arrangement.  The  models  are  made  of  wood 
and  cardboard,  colored  to  give  a  true  pictorial  representa- 
tion of  the  campuses,  and  are  made  at  a  scale  of  one-six- 
teenth inch  to  the  foot. 

The  University  of  Chicago  is  represented  by  a  series 
of  pictures  of  buildings,  chief  among  which  is  the  beau- 
tiful wate  color  rendering  of  the  New  Harper  Me- 
morial Library.  The  University  of  Chicago  Press  in  its 
exhibit  of  one  hundred  volumes  of  serial  publications  of 

[241 


the  University,  shows  in  a  convincing  manner  the  very 
advanced  character  of  the  work  which  the  University 
faculty  is  doing. 

The  University  of  Illinois,  in  addition  to  its  campus 
model  and  views,  has  exhibited  the  proposed  campus 
plan,  and  fifty  volumes  which  are  representative  of  the 
University  and  Faculty  publications. 

Northwestern  University  is  represented  by  campus 
views  and  volumes  of  publications  and  announcements. 

Monticello  Seminary,  which  was  a  pioneer  in  the  in- 
struction of  women,  has  been  assigned  a  special  alcove  in 
which  to  display  the  very  admirable  work  which  it  has 
accomplished. 

The  public  school  system  of  the  State  is  represented 
by  the  most  complete  collection  of  photographs  of  its 
kind  that  have  ever  been  made,  showing  as  it  does,  first, 
the  beginnings  and  possibilities  of  the  "Consolidation  of 
Rural  Schools"  as  contrasted  with  the  well-known  one- 
room  country  school;  second,  a  few  of  the  best  grade 
buildings  of  the  state ;  third,  the  development  of  the  high 
schools,  particularly  the  township  high  schools,  and  their 
equipment  to  meet  the  growing  demands  for  vocational 
education ;  fourth,  some  of  the  academies,  technical  insti- 
tutes and  special  schools  and  institutions;  fifth,  the  five 
State  Normal  Schools,  and  the  Chicago  Normal  School ; 
sixth,  the  twenty-four  colleges  of  the  Illinois  Federation; 
seventh,  some  departments  of  the  University  of  Illinois. 

The  Chicago  public  schools  have  a  special  exhibit  which 
however,  is  confined  to  a  few  of  their  distinctive  activities, 

[25] 


such  as  the  work  for  defectives,  social  center  and  voca- 
tional work.  These  activities  are  shown  by  an  unusually 
fine  series  of  photographic  enlargements  and  by  framed 
views  which  are  hung  on  the  walls. 

A  map  of  Illinois  shows  the  location  of  every  school 
building  in  the  State,  designated  so  as  to  indicate  whether 
it  is  a  high  school,  combined  high  school  and  grammar 
school,  a  grade  school,  a  standard  rural  school,  or  an  or- 
dinary one-room  rural  school.  On  another  map  all  of 
the  universities,  colleges,  and  special  schools  are  marked, 
showing  accurately  the  geographical  distribution  of  these 
institutions. 

Banners  representing  about  a  hundred  schools  and  col- 
leges of  the  State,  add  color  and  interest  to  the  booth. 

The  exhibit  is  in  charge  of  Mr.  F.  W.  Thomas, 
former  Principal  of  the  University  of  Illinois  Academy. 
Mr.  Ralph  L.  Kelley  of  the  University  of  Illinois,  in- 
stalled the  exhibit  and  also  supervised  the  building  of  the 
University  of  Illinois  model.

The  Lincoln  Memorial  Exhibit 

The  Lincoln  Memorial  exhibit  was  prepared 
and  installed  by  Mrs.  Jessie  Palmer  Weber,  of 
Springfield,  secretary  of  the  Illinois  State  Histor- 
ical Society,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Illinois 
Commission's  Lincoln  Memorial  committee,  of 
which  the  Hon.  N.  Elmo  Franklin,  of  Lexington, 
a  member  of  the  State  Senate,  is  chairman.  The 
other  members  of  this  committee  are:  Charles  H. 
Carmon,  Charles  N.  Wheeler,  John  C.  Eastman 
and  Alfred  N.  Abbott. 

THIS  exhibit,  which  is  the  only  state  exhibit  in  the 
tllinois  state  building,  is  a  pictorial  and  manuscript 
.ife  of  Lincoln.     A  room  in  the  Illinois  building, 
known  as  the  "Lincoln  Memorial"  room,  was  especially 
planned  for  it. 

The  central  feature  of  the  exhibit  is  the  arrange- 
ment of  eighteen  flat  wall-cases.  These  cases  contain 
material  which  tells  in  chronological  sequence  the  story 
of  Lincoln's  life — bringing  out  the  history  of  the  most 
important  periods  of  his  life. 

The  letters,  pictures,  documents,  mementoes,  curios, 
and  other  features  of  the  exhibit,  are  each  carefully  la- 
beled. 

The  various  cases  are  designated  as  follows: 

1.  Ancestry  of  Abraham   Lincoln. 

2.  Youth  of  Lincoln. 

[27] 


[28] 


3.  Lincoln  at  New  Salem. 

4.  Lincoln,  the  Surveyor. 

5.  Lincoln  in  the  Black  Hawk  War. 

6.  Marriage  and  Domestic  Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 

7.  Lincoln,  the   Lawyer. 

8.  Lincoln  as  a  Member  of  Congress. 

9.  Lincoln  and  the  Anti-Nebraska  Movement. 

10.  The  Lincoln-Douglas  Debates. 

11.  Lincoln  and  the  Campaign  of  1860. 

12.  Lincoln  as  President. 

13.  Lincoln  and  the  War  Between  the  States. 

14.  Assassination  and  Death  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 

15.  Portraits  of  Lincoln  previous  to  1861. 

16.  Portraits  of  Lincoln,  1861-65. 

17.  Some    early    letters    of    Lincoln.     Previous   to    1861. 

18.  Letters  of  Lincoln  1860-65. 

These  cases  are  placed  in  panels  on  the  walls  of  the 
Lincoln  Memorial  room.  Above  them  are  hung  about 
forty  portraits  of  Lincoln,  his  family  and  associates  illus- 
trative of  each  particular  phase  of  his  life  as  shown  in  the 
wall  cases. 

There  are  also  four  glass  show  cases  in  the  exhibit 
containing  rare  and  interesting  relics  and  other  articles 
too  large  to  be  placed  in  the  wall-cases.  Among  the 
most  interesting  of  these  is  a  collection  of  the  rarest  of 
the  biographies  and  other  books  about  Lincoln,  includ- 
ing a  collection  of  Lincoln  biographies  written  in  foreign 
languages.  A  collection  of  sheet  music,  songs  and  instru- 
mental music  written  about  Lincoln,  some  of  the  rarer 
Lincoln  medals,  a  collection  of  original  caricatures  of 

[29] 


Lincoln,  issued  during  his  presidential  campaigns,  being 
similar  to  what  we  now  call  cartoons. 

The  exhibit  contains  facsimile  copies  of  more  than  one 
hundred  letters  written  Mr.  Lincoln  and  of  many  histor- 
ical documents.  It  is  by  far  the  most  comprehensive  col- 
lection of  Lincolniana  that  has  ever  been  shown  at  any

The  Mines,  Mining  and  Metallurgi- 
cal Exhibit 

The  mines,  mining  and  metallurgical  exhibit 
was  prepared  and  installed  through  the  co-opera- 
tion of  the  University  of  Illinois,  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  Illinois  commission's  committee  on 
mines,  mining  and  metallurgy,  which  is  as  follows : 
George  W.  Crawford,  chairman;  Martin  B.  Bail- 
ey, W.  A.  Compton,  P\  C.  Campbell  and  Charles 
H.  Carmon. 

THE  exhibit  is  located  on  Second  street  between 
ivenues  "C"  and  "D",  Palace  of  Mines  and  Met- 
lurgy,  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition. 

It  is  a  space  25  feet  square,  walled  in  on  three  sides 
with  an  attractive  panelled  partition  against  which 
stands  glass-front  exhibit  cases,  affording  ample  room  to 
display  the  different  exhibits  to  the  greatest  advantage. 

The  side  open  to  Second  street,  or  the  aisle,  is  partly 
screened  or  marked  off  by  four  large  columns  supporting 
a  beautiful  cornice,  as  shown  by  the  picture. 

The  color  scheme  is  Gold  and  White  and  lends  itself 
admirably  in  tone  to  the  surrounding  booths. 

Inasmuch  as  the  state  of  Illinois  ranks  third  in  the 
production  of  coal,  in  the  United  States,  and  third  in 
petroleum  products,  the  main  exhibit  is  made  up  of  these 
two  minerals.  However,  there  are  other  important  dis- 

[31] 


[32] 


plays  such  as  Fluorspar,  mined  at  Rosiclare  in  the 
southern  part  of  the  state,  and  Tripoli  a  residual  silicious 
material,  used  as  a  basis  for  abrasives  and  for  filtration. 

The  exhibit  also  consists  of  displays  of  asphalt,  lead,  lime 
cement,  pig-iron,  mineral  waters,  pyrite  (a  by-product  of 
coal  mining)  sulphuric  acid  from  the  zinc  smelting,  and 
zinc. 

The  most  important  among  the  latter  products  named 
is  cement,  as  Illinois  ranks  fourth  in  the  production  of 
that  much  used  building  material. 

Supplementing  this,  are  four  maps  and  other  data  from 
the  "State  Geological  Survey,"  showing  the  extent  and 
location  of  the  different  productions. 

The  mining  machinery  companies  have  contributed,  too, 
to  the  welfare  of  the  exhibit  by  sending  some  pictures 
of  the  latest  improved  mining  machinery,  which  will  be 
hung  in  a  prominent  place.

The  Motion  Pictures 

IN  the  motion-pictures,  which  are  exhibited  in  the  mo- 
tion-picture theatre  daily,  it  has  been  the  commis- 
sion's wish  and  effort  to  show  the  parks  and  boule- 
vards of  Illinois;  the  educational,  charitable  and  penal 
institutions;  the  roads;  the  agricultural  and  live-stock 
interests,  and  views  of  the  principal  large  cities  of  the 
state. 

The  pictures  of  the  various  state  institutions  are  intend- 
ed, primarily,  to  show  the  great  advancement  along  the 
lines  of  humanity  and  mercy  that  has  been  made  in  very 
recent  years  in  the  conduct  and  management  of  these 
institutions. 

The  pictures  are  shown  every  morning  and  afternoon, 
and  frequently  in  the  evening.  There  is,  of  course,  no 
admission  fee,  and  visitors  to  the  building  are  welcomed 
to  the  theatre.

The  Artists  of  Illinois 

By  LENA  M.  MCCAULEY 
Art  Critic 

Miss  McCauley  was  requested  to  prepare  this 
little  review  of  the  fine  arts  exhibit  in  the  Illinois 
state  building  upon  the  suggestion  of  the  artists 
whose  works  are  represented  in  the  exhibit.  The 
article  concludes  with  a  list  of  the  works,  together 
with  the  name  and  address  of  the  artists;  and  the 
value  of  the  various  paintings. 

ILLINOIS,  not    yet    a    century    in    the    Union,    and 
Chicago  but   four  score  years  from   Indian   times  at 
Fort  Dearborn,  are  bearing  honors  in  the  history  of 
American  Art,  as  the  center  of  creative  energy  to  inspire 
painters  and  sculptors  in  the  Middle  West. 

It  is  significant  that  the  artist  should  have  come  to 
Illinois  with  the  pioneers  of  commercial  progress.  The 
city  fathers  of  Chicago  invited  G.  P.  A.  Healy,  the  emi- 
nent portrait  painter  to  make  his  home  among  them  in  the 
fifties.  Before  Chicago  had  an  important  art  school 
Jacksonville  was  supporting  a  distinguished  painter  and 
teacher.  The  first  settlers  brought  education  with  them, 
and  many  a  boy  who  went  to  the  "Little  Red  School 
House"  learned  to  love  art  there,  and  is  the  artist  of 
today. 

C44] 


Chicago  had  its  first  exhibition  of  paintings  in  1859; 
the  Art  Institute  was  founded  in  1879  shortly  after  the 
Society  of  Artists  came  into  existence,  and  today  over 
one  million  visitors  visit  the  changing  exhibitions  in  the 
museum  annually.  The  Chicago  artists  invite  those  of 
the  vicinity  to  unite  in  the  most  popular  display  of  paint- 
ings of  the  year;  2,117  students  come  from  every  corner 
of  the  country  to  the  Art  Institute  school,  and  1,000 
more  support  three  other  schools,  to  make  this  the  Mecca 
of  the  fine  arts  in  the  west. 

Half  a  hundred  painters  and  four  sculptors,  all  of 
whom  are  residents  of  Illinois,  men  and  women,  con- 
tributed the  examples  of  art  gathered  by  a  jury  from 
the  Chicago  Society  of  Artists  for  the  exhibit  of  fine 
arts  at  the  Illinois  state  building  at  the  Panama  Pacific 
International  exposition  at  San  Francisco  in  1915. 

Their  works  show  the  varying  points  of  view  of  the 
period  in  which  we  live.  The  artists  of  Illinois  have 
reached  maturity  and  look  forward  to  the  changing  times. 
In  a  little  over  a  quarter  of  a  century  they  have  organ- 
ized a  strong  society  open  to  their  neighbors  and  acting 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  community.  It  is  they  who 
have  promoted  public  school  art,  and  opened  the  doors 
of  the  museum  to  children,  and  they  who  inspired  the 
foundation  of  that  valauble  society,  The  Friends  of 
American  Art,  which  has  so  vastly  increased  a-  regard 
for  contemporary  painters  throughout  the  land. 

The  artists  whose  works  are  shown  in  the  Illinois  State 
Building  live  in  Illinois.  The  majority  come  from  Chi- 

[45] 


cago  and  the  vicinity.  Nearly  one-third  were  born  and 
educated  in  the  Prairie  State;  many  are  natives  of  adja- 
cent states  in  the  Mississippi  Valley,  and  a  few  from 
Germany,  Sweden,  France,  Bohemia  and  elsewhere,  are 
adopted  sons  and  daughters  and  Wai  painters.  Nearly 
all  at  some  time,  studied  art  in  Chicago,  and  their  de- 
votion to  the  locality  is  evident  from  the  number  of  Illi- 
nois landscapes,  and  the  portraits  of  men  and  women  of 
the  region. 

Hence  it  is  that  this  collection  is  representative  of  a 
distinct  section  of  the  Middle  West,  the  Prairie  State 
south  of  Lake  Michigan,  and  appropriate  to  hang  in  the 
Illinois  state  building. 

Following  the  titles  of  the  paintings  there  is  a  happy 
relationship  with  familiar  landscape,  the  farms,  the  creeks 
and  country  boys,  meadows  and  hills  under  the  glow  of 
ripening  harvests  or  the  splendor  of  golden  autumn.  It 
has  been  said  that  American  painting  would  come  into 
its  glory  as  the  painting  of  natural  landscape.  And  in 
this  limited  number  of  canvases,  the  subtle  portrayal  of 
moods  of  nature,  the  moonrise,  the  August  morning,  the 
purple  twilight  of  evening  when  the  hermit  thrush  is 
singing,  is  in  perfect  sympathy  with  poetic  feeling  such 
as  inspired  the  greatest  of  Illinois  poets,  William  Cullen 
Bryant,  to  sing  of  man,  of  nature  and  immortality.  They 
hark  to  no  other  world,  but  to  the  charm  of  the  rolling 
prairies  of  the  wide  countryside. 

While  the  landscape  painters  have  traveled,  their  orig- 
inal genius  kept  them  nearer  the  American  ideal  as  set 

[46] 


forth  in  the  gentle  art  of  George  Inness,  the  Father  of 
the  American  landscape.  Both  men  and  women  studied 
at  Munich  and  Dusseldorf  or  Paris,  but  the  influence 
of  personalities  in  teachers  was  strongest  with  the  por- 
traitists and  figure  painters.  Among  these  the  fashions 
of  modern  art  may  be  seen  breaking  away  in  graphic 
treatment,  harsh  in  color,  realistic  and  novel.  The  con- 
trasts, striking  as  they  are,  render  the  pictures  more  inter- 
esting and  more  valuable,  as  the  recent  fashions  point  to 
future  unfolding. 

The  five  sculptors  but  hint  of  the  greatness  of  their 
accomplishment.  They  come  from  the  Midway  Studios 
in  which  Lorado  Taft,  born  in  Illinois,  a  world  famed 
sculptor,  is  the  head  of  a  school  of  sculpture  in  the  heart 
of  the  Continent. 

The  fine  arts  adorning  the  Illinois  state  building  is  rep- 
resentative of  what  is  being  done  now  and  suggests  pos- 
sibilities for  the  future.  In  this  brief  comment  there  is 
not  space  to  name  individuals,  the  distinguished  presidents 
of  the  Chicago  Society  of  Artists  who  have  promoted  art 
societies  and  exhibitions  throughout  the  state  of  Illinois, 
those  who  have  won  honors  and  medals  at  international 
exhibitions,  those  who  are  well  known  in  Europe  as  in 
their  native  land. 

While  the  collection  is  limited,  it  must  not  be  forgot- 
ten that  the  artists  of  Illinois  are  present  in  the  national 
collection,  and  that  this  gathering  of  works  shows  to  a 
degree  what  is  flowering  in  painting  and  growing  in 

[47] 


dignity,  in  sculpture.  It  is  many  sided  in  its  vision,  and 
illustrates  the  freedom  of  the  individual  to  keep  abreast 
with  the  times  in  the  message  of  art.
